One of my favorite comedies is Waiting for Guffman, the first of those Christopher Guest-directed ensemble mockumentaries. It plays well with the goofiness of amateur theater and really embraces the hokey vibe of stage musica...

Now that Will Smith and Jay Z's Annie hip-hopera reboot (I will never stop calling it that, ever) is no longer a vehicle for Willow Smith's hair whipping and instead will star the impressively talented Quvenzhané ...

It was ages ago when we first mentioned the stage musical adaptation of Rocky, but now we have your first look at the production, which is headed to Broadway in February or March 2014. And... well... it looks and sounds a li...

Pitch Perfect flourished like wildfire from seemingly out of nowhere. I loved it for what it was and still sort of catch myself watching it from time to time. It featured a nice cast of almost nobodies (not including Anna Ken...

While this isn't a big deal to most of you (since I assume Flixist readers are part of a cool motorcycle gang that terrorizes a single small town once a year), the cast of Pitch Perfect (minus Anna Kendrick and Adam Devine) ...

It was rumored a while back that Willow Smith may play the lead in the new Annie. Now that has changed. Nine-year-old Quvenzhané Wallis was officially casted this past Sunday as Annie in the Will Smith adaptation of An...

Les Militaribles is a "parody" of Les Miserables from the South Korean Air Force with rejiggered songs ("Look Down" is now "Dig Down"), a rejiggered story (follows Valjean, an airman whose girlfriend is there to visit but Ja...

It looks like The Muppets' next globe trotting adventure finally has an official title. Brace yourselves. It's The Muppets...Again! Yeah, I didn't make that up, though I gladly would have if Disney paid me instead of who...

Mean Girls is one of the most quotable films in recent memory. After 30 Rock (Fey's schedule will be a lot clearer now that it's unfortunately ending) it's one of my favorite Fey projects, so I'm glad to hear that Fey is...

I was just thinking the other day that several of my favorite Disney movies had been adapted for the stage, but for some reason Aladdin had never gotten any love. Well, turns out I'm just a big stupid head, because there is&n...

Now that we're well on our way out of November, we enter into the legitimate beginnings of the Holiday season; that is to say, that time of year that some people love while others despise it wholeheartedly. What can we do to ...

Is Susan Boyle Benedict Cumberbatch's mom?* If so, I'm sure he's very proud because she's getting a movie made about her life. Fox Searchlight has purchased her life rights (that will always be a weird grouping of words ...

Tom Hooper's adaptation of Les Miserables is just over a month away. To help build the hype, noted photographer Annie Leibovitz took a number of stunning cast photos for Vogue. They're much better than the chintzy Disney pics...

Adam McKay recently dished on some nice story tidbits for the upcoming, and most likely the greatest thing since Sex Panther, Anchorman sequel in an interview with The Playlist. The sequel is looking to tackle the evolving fo...

After that pretty awesome teaser trailer from back in May, there hasn't really been new footage of Tom Hooper's upcoming adaptation of Les Miserables. After seeing the new trailer, which features more than just Anne Hat...

Last years The Muppets seemed to be a surprise success for Disney, though I'm not sure why they didn't expect it, because anyone who's seen the movie can tell you it's fantastic. Anywho, the studio got the ball rolling o...
